U+8B1E "謞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

謞

U+8B1E "謞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily means to flatter, to praise excessively, or to speak deceitfully in classical contexts, though in modern usage it is obscure and largely encountered only in specialized historical or literary texts. Its composition combines the radical 言 (speech) with the phonetic component 高 (high, tall), suggesting a literal reading of "lofty speech" or "high praise," which aligns with its connotation of insincere adulation. This character is classified under the Kangxi radical 149 (言) and is not commonly used in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems, appearing instead in ancient dictionaries or classical poetry.
